## Summary

The Procurement and Logistics Service is initiating a tender for "The Provision of Facilities Services for NIFRS" aimed at facilities management services, specifically for the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service (NIFRS). The process is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for submitting completed questionnaires set for 3pm on 8th March 2022. The procurement will focus on understanding market capabilities regarding the delivery of various facilities services, including options for standalone catering or a combination of services like cleaning and security, which may inform future contracting decisions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the facilities management sector, particularly those offering comprehensive service packages that include cleaning, catering, and maintenance solutions. Companies with experience in service integration and a strong operational capability in managing such varied services will be well-placed to compete. Engaging in this early market consultation allows businesses to align their offerings with NIFRS's needs, enhancing their prospects for success in potential subsequent procurement processes.

## Notice

NIFRS objective is to get an understanding from the market and what would be the best solution to provide FM Services to LDC Cookstown. NIFRS currently use a Term Service Contract to undertake planned and reactive maintenance throughout their estate and a BSO PaLS Contract for Cleaning, Grounds Maintenance and Waste Management. NIFRS do have the option to merge this site into this contract; however, there are some services that aren't included within the TSSC e.g. Catering, Security and maintenance of bespoke Fire Fighting Props. At this stage, NIFRS are uncertain if a standalone catering provision contract would be attractive to the market, or would a package of combined soft services e.g. catering, cleaning (including window cleaning, waste management, security and grounds maintenance be more attractive to the market In order to avoid failed procurement exercise and gain an understanding operating models. Any information gathered through this market consultation exercise may inform internal business planning and any possible subsequent procurement process and will NOT be appraised in any future tender evaluation exercise.
